After having to reset FF I have a old FF folder what do I do with it?

My FF icon started showing a blank page when I clicked on it. I could of course click my homepage after the fact but not what I want. So I re-set FF afterwords there was a "old FF data" folder on my desktop. What is this for? what do I do with it? can I use it to set my homepage exactly as it was before the re-set? how?
Thank You,
Ron

Recovering data from the Old Firefox Data folder is a little tricky because often the file and folder names are obscure.
Regarding your home page, were you using a custom page online (like the old iGoogle) that you can easily reconnect to, or were you using an add-on that stored the page setup locally? If it was only stored locally, there are a couple different scenarios for recovering your data, but the details depend on which add-on it was.

I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook. I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac. How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro? I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.

You need a Firewire cable to run between the two Macs. Using Utility>Migration Assistant running on your new MacBook Pro, transfer what you want (with all the preferences and such) from your MacBook to your MBP. Here's more info from Apple.
You might have an issue with the Serial number for Office, but hopefully you have that around.
Hope this helps.

RMBP: Sometimes, after having been shut down, i have to press the power button several times before the machine starts up. It's 3 weeks old, and this has happened 2 times now. Is there something wrong with my rMBP?

Did you purchase the Mac new?
You have 14 calendar days from the time your items are delivered to initiate a return as noted here.
Even though you are past the 14 day limit, if it were me, I'd take the Mac back and explain what's going on. Your Mac should work out of the box.

I have an old TC (A1302) which I've replaced with the newest version. I'd like to erase everything from the old TC and, perhaps, resell it. How do I accomplish the complete erase?

I have an old TC (A1302) which I've replaced with the newest version (A1470). I'd like to erase everything from the old TC and, perhaps, resell it. How do I accomplish the complete erase?

On your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the old TC, then click Edit
Click the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
Select the Zero Out Data option.....which will take 4-6 hours depending on the size of the drive on the old TC......if you plan to sell the TC. If you plan to keep the TC, use the Quick Erase option.....which will only take a few minutes.
Click Erase
Click the Base Station Menu at the top of the screen
Click Restore Default Settings and follow the prompts
The disk has now been securely erased and the network settings have been reset back to factory defaults.

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

Yes. Back up the Library.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

After 10.5.3 update I have a "Previous Systems" folder (1976-04-01_0145)

After my terrible experience with the 10.5.3 update on Friday (and getting locked out of system, see thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1542395&tstart=0) I have my machine up and running again.
However, I've now discovered that I now have a 'Previous Systems' folder - which is essentially an ENTIRE system, with apps, utilities, etc. - on my machine and it is dated 1976-04-01_0145.
Because of this duplication I am barely able to run my machine as the startup drive is out of memory, all of my apps thing I've never used them before today, etc. . However, I am terrified of deleting one or the other of these two system folders.
I can't even properly backup as the scan takes FOREVER.
Help! What should I do?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Yes, You should have a previous system folder after an archive and install.
Can you backup everything to a second HD? Or, were you running Time Machine (a good idea). If you can, then you can safely delete many things from the previous system folder. Or, at least enough to begin testing to see if your apps work.
I routinely do and A&I when I upgrade. Then I test all my apps (or at least the important ones and a sample of the lesser ones). I move the previous system folder to a spare disk and keep it around for a few weeks incase I need to copy something over (like fonts).
BTW, I suspect your start up disk is out of space, not memory. Again backing stuff up, particularly on a laptop is a very sound idea and also allows you to manage your stuff better -- older stuff goes on the backup. Despite some problems, Time Machine works well for this as do a number of commercial products.

I have an old work apple ID that is associated with my App Store . I have created new apple ids and reset in settings but whenI access the App Store it still defaults to my old work apple ID. I can't seem to get passed this, any ideas?

I have an old work e mail address that was a primary apple id. The App Store uses this as a default. I have created a new apple ID and changed this in the settings but the App Store still defaults to the old address. How can I get change this as I cannot update anything at this stage. I cannot create a new password against the ole apple ID as the e mail is no longer valid, old work e mail

Hi tried the various options but ended up deleting the apps associated with the old Appleid and then accessing them from the App Store and reloading. They automatically asked for the new Appleid and password.

I have an old iPod classic that does not sync with a current version of I tunes . I have iPod selected, etc. help

I have an old I pod classic about 2008 and found it will not sync using the latest version of I tunes downloaded on windows 7 system. I have I pod selected in the top right corner....etc.

I'm having the same problem. Unfortunately, I just paid for a replacement and still have the same problem.

I recently bought a used I phone5s and I want to download apps but I don't have the old owners password what can I do to change it?

I recently got a used iPhone 5 s I want to download apps but I don't have the old password to do it what can I do?

If the phone is Activation Locked the phone is useless to you. There is no way around Apple's antitheft feature. To check this go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. If it asks for a passcode for an Apple ID that is not yours it is still Activation Locked, and there is a high probability it is stolen.

After having to reset my Zen Vision M, it now rebuilds the library every time I turn it

My Vision M froze on me about a month ago, and I had to reset it to get it to turn off and back on. When I reset it, it went through the whole Rebuilding process, and then was on again. But half of my music was missing. And now every time I turn it off and turn it back on, it goes through the rebuilding process.
Is there a way to make it stop this. I use it in my car, and every time I get in, I listen to the radio while it's rebuilding. And then I end up forgetting that I even have it with me. Having to wait a few minutes to listen to my music, when I usually only have a little more than a few minutes to listen to music when I use it on my way to and from work, makes it nearly useless.
If I format it back to factory settings, will it fix this issue? Or am I just going to need a new MP3 player? Those Zen Vision W's sure do look really nice. But I don't have the money for that. I'd prefer to just find a fix for this.
Thank you for your help.

MonkeyPeaches,
It could help to update the firmware, and try the Clean Up option in the Recovery Mode menu:

Hopefully that Clean Up option should clear that problem for you. If it doesn't, it might help to do a full format of the unit before you transfer music back to it. That will remove everything on the player though, so back your music up if you haven't done so already.
